Chapter 191: Cunning
Master Smith Under Ministry of National Defense
191 – Cunning
Hearing Untwart’s offer to reveal the location of one of the three Heavenly Lords who had invaded Earth, Myung-jun decided to accept the proposal. He planned to keep Untwart in a frozen state until the information could be verified. If it was confirmed that the information was not a trap, Myung-jun would stop torturing Untwart and allow him to commit suicide by turning off the life support system.
After concluding the negotiation, Untwart was about to reveal the location of the only Heavenly Lord he knew among the three who had come to Earth. Before doing so, he asked Myung-jun:
[Is there any chance you could spare me? On the condition that I never return to Earth.]
“That’s not possible. You’re too dangerous.”
[If you spare me and let me go, I could infect other intelligent beings in outer universe and create an army to fight for you. Think about it. An army that fights perfectly according to learned manuals, without fear, and without asking for any reward. That could be yours.]
“It’s a tempting offer, but I’ll have to decline. The very act of taking away others’ free will to create soldiers to fight for me is repulsive.”
